I am conducting social and technological experiments in the future evolution of the world's languages.

I want to test the proposition that recognition by the dominant culture together with ground-up design of new technologies will open the way to a world that sustains its linguistic diversity.

Northern Australia is a hot-spot of linguistic diversity and I am recruiting PhD students and a postdoctoral fellow for research in technology and design for language revitalization (more).
